A new user of Access, I posted the question on 11/11/04 of how to split my
column of customer names into two columns.
I have studied your suggested query extensively and cannot determine why I
keep getting an invalid syntax error. You suggested I use:
UPDATE TheTable SET TheTable.LastName =
Left$([FullName],InStr(1,[FullName],",")-1), TheTable.FirstName =
Mid$([FullName],InStr(1,[FullName],",")+2);
which I modified to the following, to reflect my table name (bval04), and
field names (customername, lastname, firstname):
SET bval04.LastName = left$([Customername],InStr(1,[Customername],",")-1),
bval04.FirstName = Mid$([Customername],InStr(1,[Customername],",")+2);
Thanks in advance for whatever further direction you might offer. I reviewed
the information at your web site (impressive!), and also tried that email
address, but didn't find the answer - or one that I understood.
